This concoction is very laboratory science gone mad-esque with vibrant kelly green against the electric purple. The tones are slightly softened with a bit of teal and lilac to add al little dimension and in some places the colors blend to create a dark reaction. The fluorescent orange, yellow, and pink neps speak for themselves, like little bubbles in a vial.
The fun colorway is inspired by a medieval manuscript with a man holding his arrow a little like a lunatic. He's mad!
Mad Scientist: Each large skein is 85% merino wool and 15% neon donegal. Superwash DK weight. 212m (231.8y)/100g. Each package comes with Halloween charms as well. This is a DK merino/donegal blend that contains some little neps (like a tweed look) but they are neon colored. What's fun about this is that they glow under UV light.

Description: The merino gives natural elasticity which is boosted with the nylon so you get great movement and stretch but it will bounce back wonderfully into shape. The merino fibres are not itchy or scratchy on the skin. The yarn is perfect for socks but can equally can be knitted into scarves, shawls, bags, granny squares, tops, or baby garments which will feel soft next to the skin due to the fine merino used. As this is superwash, you can wash your finished product in a washing machine. Recommended not to use water hotter than 30°C.
